11. Steve Carell
Today, Steve Carell is one of the most recognizable actors in both television and movies. He spent years playing the beloved Michael Scott on The Office and has had a string of highly successful films, which range from dramatic to hilarious.
But before all of that, he was just a regular guy from Massachusetts. One of his first jobs out of college was a mail carrier, but after six months he quit because his boss told him he wasn’t good at his job and needed to go faster.
When he was 29, he performed at the legendary Second City in Chicago, but it wouldn’t be until he was in his 40s when he got the two roles that would change his career – The 40-Year-Old Virgin and The Office. And thus Steve Carell became a household name.
